The perception that our country is "besieged by radicals" is one of those "repeat until true" memes. The party bosses are probably too smart to believe it, but they believe Joe Six Pack believes it, so they surrender to it, which practically guarantees defeat for them. It's the tragedy of our time.

the only people who vote primarily on trans issues are transphobes who will never vote for democrats, and trans people + our allies who will never vote for republicans.

advocating for trans rights loses liberals absolutely nothing but gains the allegiance of extremely passionate and loyal activists

How to win in November

I'm old enough to remember when basically all the factions of the Democratic party were in favor of a path to citizenship for the DREAMers. Nevertheless, in true Democratic fashion, the legislation never moved forward, and the path to citizenship remained a pipe dream.

Nominee, no, but candidate, easily. Remember the fleet of no less than three (3) billionaire candidates in the 2020 Democratic primary season, and how tightly they tag teamed for the centrist cause?

Rahm is a turd that won't flush

I sure hope you're right about that.

Im not sure it’s Emmanuels party anymore or James Carville’s, which is why they are desperate to remain relevant.

Further proof it's never been about age verification, it's always been about total surveillance

Also, fuck Gavin Newsom

"This is basically impossible for California to enforce" says CatoDomine on the Linux mint subreddit. "Even if Linux Mint decides to add some kind of age verification to comply with CA law, there's no reason anyone would choose that version."

The article cites a very smart Reddit comment about how this is likely to go.

I, for one, am absolutely not using any distro that falls in line with this bullshit.

Brazil!?!?!??

WTF has happened in the last 21½ years?

My Dad was once the U.S. Ambassador to Qatar.

He was there when the bloodless coup occurred that put the Crowned Prince Hamad Al Thani in power in 1995.

He helped establish the U.S. relationship with the new regime, right when Qatar’s massive gas reserves were being explored & Qatar was becoming a

if you are still asking for the Epstein Files, you haven't been paying attention. even in the tiny trickle, trump is all over them, as a child rapist, as a payer of abortions, as an abuser. time to move on to ACTING on the Epstein Files. www.justice.gov/epstein

Last thing Ukraine needs is a two front war.

You never lied!

My hometown, Detroit, is famously Black and currently represented by Rashida Tlaib and Shri Thanedar. We gave our current governor the moniker "Big Gretch." She's beloved here.

And that's just our local politics... examples abound around this country.

Language shifts always signal power shifts. When professions rename themselves, they're usually trying to escape accountability or expand scope. Watch what gets rebranded next.

Screenshot of the skeet to which this skeet is a reply. So far it has 666 likes. Before and after photos illustrating a tattoo revision on someone's left upper arm. In the "before" photo on the left is a long haired, bearded, crowned (with thorns) figure with an enormous cross on his chest. The new image is a helmeted figure wearing metal epaulets and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle swag.

I decided not to click the ♥

It's not that I had fond feelings about Neera Tanden before but I think her retweeting Nick Fuentes is pretty good evidence that twitter is a gamma radiation field for your brain

Never been there. One more to cross off the list.

In yesterday's primary elections, anti-transgender Democrats found out the hard way why you don't throw transgender people under the bus.

Two anti-trans dems lost their primaries, including one that cast the deciding veto override vote, in blowouts.

The 1963 CLEOPATRA is what I call a "sumptuous slog". It's punishingly boring but amazing to look at. The 1934 CLEOPATRA on the other hand is a hoot. Claudette Colbert is saucy and fun and it's a brisk 100 minutes.

introduce yourself with 5 cars you've owned (using a generous definition of "owned") (and a generous definition of "you")

By that logic, he should be taking the fight straight to the plain of Megiddo.

I did not and never will consent to be fed Ai-written "journalism."

'the right dont purity test!'

yes they do. they literally spent years purging anyone they didn't consider a republican. they called them 'rinos' remember?

the right also refuse to engage in any bipartisanship.

tf are you all talking about?

Nah. The real debate in America is between people who know Trump is evil and say so, and the people (like Laura!) who know Trump is corrupt and evil and lie about it for personal profit.

Hungary took the oil, thanked nobody, and blamed the country that sent it MOL’s chairman says Ukraine pumped oil through Druzhba to stop a fire. Hungary accepted every barrel.

Russia bombed Druzhba. Ukraine pumped 35,000 tonnes of its own crude through the pipeline to stop the fire. Hungary's MOL accepted it all.

Then Budapest spent five weeks calling it a Ukrainian blockade—and used it to block €90billion in EU aid to Kyiv.

They possess gravitas, which is hard to find these days, but some say the level of gravitas has also declined since Jobs took over.

Some of the best years of my life were spent at that university. It is beyond shameful what they have done to themselves.
